This is AWESOME ... something we should all remember.
A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today ....
His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, a young assistant provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. "I love it" he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. 'Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait Sir.' "That doesn't have anything to do with it," Mr. Jones replied ....
"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time."
"Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. 'It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work ... or I can get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away

Just for this time in my life ....

Old age is like a bank account ...

You withdraw from what you've put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in your bank account of memories!"
Thank you for your part in filling my Memory Bank.

I am still depositing ...


'Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred.

2. Free your mind from worries.

3. Live simply.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

Have a nice day, unless you already have other plans.

Tell someone else to read this ,, they might need to see it,

You never know, now some of us are getting old,, we need all the a little help !

I say keep moving is the only answer!!

That is one treason I planted flowers and made 4 flower baskets for my back porch this morning.

my grandmother always told me she "loved spring and it felt good to get her hands in the dirt and plant something" So I do it also,, after all she lived to be 97 years old.

So that makes a believer out of me,, how about you??

at 75 you'll try any thing (laughing!)

Love to you all from an old lady with dirt under her finger nails! Fran
